If it was The Family version, you wouldn’t be saying that.

I don't even know what that means wease

That if it was the version of the song not sung by a woman, you’d be voting against it.

I don't appreciate what you're getting at here.

BUT, to your vulgar point, I will counter by saying... the same could be said of any of these songs. We aren't voting for every version of the song, just the one in the contest. I wouldn't vote for Chris Cornell's Billie Jean over a lot of these songs. But Jackson's should probably win this whole thing. The sex/gender of the artist has fuck all to do with it.

Sinead's version of this song is immaculate. Not because she's a woman, but because in this particular song her phrasing is heartbreaking and visceral. She uses her instrument masterfully. I think she's a genius and this is top tier Sinead. Her version of this song has so much emotion, empathy, compasion, and nuance. It's a layered and unfolding experience bordering on profound.

All Night Long doesn't hold a candle to it. And I like All Night Long!

I was just playing with you, man. Settle down.
